I've grown to love the ACMLM system, the little quirks [syndromes, colours, etc] and especially the post template system.

I wanted to code my own forum for a game development site I am setting up, as I don't think the other forum software can cater for my needs. I'm fairly learned in the workings of PHP and can always get help.

So, should I go for it? Anything I should watch out for/implement? One thing troubled me was the mysql db layouts, you know, for posts... I never understood quite how that worked. I wish I could get hold of a copy of ACMLMBoard to see how this worked, but ass fairly impossible, I'll use something else.

It's not impossible. Clickme.

Don't be suprised if it's down, I guess something happened earlier and his computer got disconnected/shut down... this was 7 hours ago, though.

Evidently, there's still some of you people out here that don't understand!


His name is Acmlm, not ACMLM. The board is called AcmlmBoard, not ACMLMBoard.

HOW HARD IS THIS CONCEPT?



*reboot*

As for making your own forum, you'd have to really understand how PHP works for this sort of thing. Make sure you use $_POST[$variable] instead of $variable for HTML forms. Using $_GET[page] for different pages.

As for MySQL, it's just knowing how SQL works. There are tutorials about it somewhere.

My shift key was stuck

Yeah, well, I'm not too bad at PHP so this shouldn't be too hard. I just wanted to see how posts/threads worked in a database environment. Well, thanks anyway... I'll see if that site returns online.

Bull You knew exactly what you were typing. If your shift key were stuck, you'd edit that and fix it.

Post/threads in a database?

Theres two tables (in AcmlmBoard 1.8a) for these.

the threads table has an id number, date, who made the thread, and some other stuff.
the posts table has an id number, the date of the post, who posted it, and the user who posted it, and which thread id it belongs to, among other things that I'm not naming.

Ever heard of sarcasm? Anyway... so I get the point now. Thanks a lot for helping... I better get coding on my site immediately!

There are more quirks behind the scenes that you know. Runnin g a board is a bit different and you run into a lot of issues that you take for granted as a user, as opposed to a maintainer. I hope you weren't expecting an easy ride.
